Trapdoor Carbine

[504PIR]

That’s unfortunate to hear. I purchased this from what I understood to be a highly respected online source. This was the seller’s description:

This carbine was produced at Springfield in 1883 and at some time later it received a field replacement stock. The carbine has seen a lot of western service since this stock shows sling ring/hook wear. The bore and rifling are excellent. It has the original armory mounted rear M79 sight and the M79 front blade. There is some color case on the underside of the block. The stock has not been sanded, but the metal parts are flush with the stock, indicating lots of use. An excellent shooter!!!!

I need to take pictures and get them posted.
